Sixteen-year-old Marion Michael as Liane possibly is the cutest jungle girl ever, and you get to see a whole lot of her in this dated movie. Though it's a West German film made in the mid-fifties and dubbed in the early sixties, it plays like a second-rate American romantic adventure from the mid-thirties. The plot is the standard cliche about a white child lost in Africa who grows up to be a gorgeous, blonde jungle girl. Silly to begin with, the silliness goes into overdrive when Liane is brought back to Germany. A vapid romantic subplot involving other characters adds a bit more absurdity. There is blatant, condescending paternalism shown towards black African characters, but it isn't much worst than in some similarly out-of-step American films of the period. The bottom line is 85 minutes of Marion Michael eye candy. Expect little else. FOOTNOTES: The streaming video version is unwatchable due to a badly out of sync audio track. Hopefully this doesn't apply to the downloads. Because of Marion Michael's semi-nudity in several scenes, this film never made it beyond the art and grindhouse circuits in the U.S..
